Spridgets on Film

We all knew Paul Newman could drive a raceecar, but who knew he could play the 'bone as well? Not much Sprite content here, but the cast list of this movie is pretty incredible.



"Paris Blues
(1961) is an American feature film made on location in Paris, starring Sidney Poitier as expatriate jazz musician Eddie Cook, and Paul Newman as trombone-playing Ram Bowen. The two men romance two vacationing American tourists, Connie Lampson (Diahann Carroll) and Lillian Corning (Joanne Woodward) respectively. The film also deals with American racism of the time contrasted with Paris's kinder treatment of African Americans. The film was based on the 1957 novel of the same name by Harold Flender.

The film also features trumpeter Louis Armstrong (as Wild Man Moore) and jazz pianist Aaron Bridgers; both play music within the film."

It looks like a better version of Pacific Blue.
 
The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery is a British film comedy set in the fictional St Trinian's School, released in 1966, three years after the Great Train Robbery had taken place. It also parodies the technocratic ideas of the Harold Wilson government and its support of the comprehensive school system.
"Alphonse" Askett (Frankie Howerd) is a hairdresser who is also the operational leader of a gang of crooks who are led behind the scenes by an invisible mastermind (voiced by Stratford Johns). He gives instructions to Askett about the robbery, Operation Windfall, using a variety of James Bond-like communications devices—including a converted showerhead.
The crooks hide the loot in Hamingwell Grange, a deserted country mansion, and after waiting for the hue and cry to die down they return to collect the numerous mailbags which contain ÂŁ2.5 million (the same amount as in the real robbery). However, following a Labour Party election triumph, the house has been converted into a new home for St Trinian's School for Girls. The crooks decide to infiltrate the school by sending Askett's delinquent daughters, Lavinia and Marcia Mary, to St Trinian's as pupils, with instructions to case the joint to find a means of recovering the money, secretly, from its hiding place. The crooks' subsequent attempt to retrieve the mailbags on Parents' Day, disguised as caterers, results in a climactic train chase between the robbers and the girls

 
The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery What a classic film. The marvelous George Cole (AKA Arthur Daley) still with us at 89 years old.
 
Who recognizes the cop in this scene from "Night Patrol"?


Maybe this will help:

Murray Langston plays Melvin, a pathetic loser of a motorcycle cop who gets demoted to working the night shift as a punishment for his constant screw-ups. During his off-duty time, however, Melvin turns to his secret obsession: comedy. He puts a paper bag over his head and performs in front of audiences as "The Unknown Comic". Unable to balance his two lives, he seeks psychiatric help to try and resolve who he really wants to be.
 
More zombies than Spridgets in the 2010 film, "Devil's Playground" - As the world succumbs to a zombie apocalypse, Cole a hardened mercenary, is chasing the one person who can provide a cure. In his way aren't only the flesh eating super athletic cannibals as humanities greatest danger, are people themselves!

 
"Boton de Ancla" - 1960 -"Carlos, Luis and Jose Enrique, final year students of the Naval Military School at Marin , forming a lashing they call "anchor button." These three friends will jeopardize their friendship when love enters their lives. Jealousy and uncontrolled situations will test his loyalty. Only the death of one of them will make them think about their differences"


 
I want at least a pound of whatever the guy in the recommended strat vid is on.
 
The Swiss Conspiracy (1976) When a Swiss bank finds that the confidentiality of some of its more vulnerable customers has been compromised it calls in an American investigator, who soon uncovers a web of deceit and blackmail. With old debts being paid off his own health is soon in danger, but at least he starts to gets to know one of the bank's female customers pretty well.

David Jansen has done really well for himself since Harry O His ride is no longer a Spridget. Now he's driving a Ferrai 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder with a hardtop byCarrozzeria Ernesto Pavesi of Milan. There were only 122 Daytona Spyders made
